Born in Gardens Corner, South Carolina, Green was raised in the Gullah community, a group of African Americans known for preserving their West African heritage through language, crafts, and traditions. His art, characterized by bold colors, rhythmic compositions, and an expressive, figurative style, reflects the daily lives, rituals, and landscapes of the Gullah people. Green studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he honed his artistic skills while remaining deeply connected to his cultural roots. His work bridges the past and present, capturing the resilience and beauty of Gullah traditions in a rapidly changing world. Green?s work is in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including The Morris Museum, Augusta, Georgia, The Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, South Carolina; The The Afro-American Museum of Philadelphia; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri; University of Virginia Art Museum, Charlottesville; The McKissick Museum, Columbia, South Carolina; The Naples Museum of Art, Naples, Florida; The IFCC Cultural Center, Portland, Oregon; and many others.
